It truly is; at Championships, they only said something about it before they replayed the first 2 matches, other than that, they avoided the subject (that is, in regards to informing the crowd; it was clearly being discussed by the FTAs on the field). It's good to see that they admit there was a problem and that they'll have more information on it. They could have easily released a bunch of press material (like, "Big winners at FIRST Championship"*), totally avoiding the subject. It's bold for FIRST to release this as their first "official statement" after what happened.





*I know, that sounds like a terrible title for a press release.
